"BIG DOG"
Shaun Leibowitz, a 21-year-old Allston resident, was arrested Friday Jan. 16 at his home at 1079 Commonwealth Ave., The Atrium, for allegedly disturbing the peace.
Officers responded to a call for a fight in the building, and arrived to discover Leibowitz, who looked as if he had just been in a fight, according to police reports. Instead of explaining events to the officers, the defendant began to yell and swear loudly at them, according to officers at the scene. When asked to quiet down and either describe the fight or leave the hallway, Leibowitz yelled that the officers were making a big mistake because his father was a "big dog" in the New York City Police Department. His tirade disturbed several neighbors in and around the building. While being arrested, he continually threatened officers that he would "get [them] in trouble."
I LIVE HERE, I SWEAR
A 54-year-old Newton man was arrested for allegedly breaking and entering Jan. 19 on Royce Road in Allston. Officers responded to the radio call while the crime was in progress and arrested Harry Tiffany inside the building after finding a window broken.

After a witness identified Tiffany as not being a resident of the apartment, Tiffany confessed to breaking in but maintained that he knew the person who lived in the apartment. Police later found the suspect to have a warrant out for his arrest from Goshen County, N.Y.
